User talk:Invictus152
Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! — you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.
Speculation[[edit source]]
Please can you save speculation for The Howling. Talk pages should be used to discuss improvement to the article and not speculation. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 19:33, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
Your input is needed!
You are invited to join the discussion at Forum:Can we disable visual editor please?.

Talk pages[[edit source]]
Please do not post speculation on article talk pages as it can ruin the experience for other editors. As such, speculation is restricted to The Howling. I have removed your message at Talk:River Song because it failed to comply with this point, but feel free to copy it from the edit history and paste it into a new discussion at that forum. Thanks--Skittles the hog - talk 01:25, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, you don't want to play ball I see. User:Revanvolatrelundar has previously warned you about posting speculation so this is your third chance. Speculation has no place on the talk pages of articles and you have no justification for posting it there, not that you've even tried to explain why you have chosen to reintroduce it - twice. Stop posting this unwarranted content on article talk pages or you will be banned.--Skittles the hog - talk 01:45, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
Article talk pages[[edit source]]
Hi! Please do not use the article talk pages for theory and speculation. These things belong only in the Howling. In addition, your recent post at Talk:Clara Oswin Oswald contained what may be a spoiler. You've been posting at this wiki long enough to be familiar with the spoiler policy. Please note that anyone spoiling anything about any 50th anniversary special will be banned from the wiki permanently. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 05:22, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.
This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!
We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.
2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
Personal attacks[[edit source]]
Hi, please note the new example regarding cast/crew at Tardis:No personal attacks#Examples of personal attacks, per your edit at World Enough and Time (TV story). Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 21:40, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
